Novel Efficient Water Technologies

Israeli companies – Tahal, an engineering company founded in the 1950s, and Mekorot, Israel'snational water company founded in the 1930s, are the country's largest and most experienced inwater management. The two companies were set up in order to help the country overcome itspersistent water scarcity and distribution problems. Working together, the companies have created:• Dependable water transport systems• Long-lasting storage structures and durable reservoirs• Rain harvesting techniques• Energy-conserving technologyAs part of the country's overall water policy, Mekorot acts as a test bed, enabling the sector's startupsto use the national facilities for the testing of new technologies.Solutions for efficient and precise water management include a wide range of products, includingsophisticated, computerized, remote-controlled and automated systems that assure reliability andhigh quality of water supply.Water Measurement and Monitoring:Preventing water loss is dependent on the quality and reliability of the system's infrastructure. Leaksin a city's underground pipes can account for up to 40% of a city's total water consumption.Israeli firms specialize in designing more durable valves, reliable pipes and accurate meters thatbetter control water supply and water flow, for industry, domestic and agricultural needs. Israeliadvancements in the fields include:• Corrosion-resistant material• Leak & Surge prevention and detection technology• Minimum-maintenance systems• Tailor made and Light-weight valves• Automatic control• Efficient DesignsIsraeli Arad Technologies hasdeveloped the world’s first transmittingmeter, which combines mechanicalaccuracy with micro-electronics.12
